[quote=Anonymous]What are you eating?

Also, is 1200 calories enough? I get that it's low, but if you're eating 1800, you could go to 1450 or something and still lose weight.

Anyway my tips are, 
- Try intermittent fasting (I only drink coffee before lunch many days and listen to my body...if I'm hungry, I eat breakfast. Most days I a not hungry). This combined with a good dinner finished before 8 means I don't really want anything more than decaf tea or possible 100 calories of chocolate after 8pm. 
- Try a big salad or cup of veggie soup with each meal. Some people like before, I prefer with. I make green salads with all the veggies I like: lettuce, cucumber, peppers, tomato, pickled onion, pickled carrot, beets, hearts of palm, whatever. I make my own dressing which is maple syrup, dijon, red wine vinegar, spices, and a very small amount of olive oil. VERY small. Like 1/9th of the jar. You can use a lot of dressing and if your salad is truly just veggies your total calories for a huge bowl is 100 or less. 
- Snack on things like cottage cheese or veggies. Things that you can't overdo. Almonds are healthy, but 40 almonds would be a lot of calories. Same for crackers. For this to work your meals need to be substantial. I find that with intermittent fasting, salads to keep you full at meals, and whole foods you can eat a lot of good food at meals and not even want to snack. 
- Don't forget protein. 
- When you're mindful you can absolutely have an onion ring or ice cream sometimes.
- Try not to drink calories. [/quote]
